A to Z Challenge: Withdrawal

Continuing my theme of sharing snippets from my upcoming book Endless, I thought I'd share an awe moment featuring Nick. Just to show it's not just all snark and badassery in this series. (For those of you wondering, Poison is Nick's endearment for Aleria.)

About the Book

“First, do no harm.” Blake Ryan swore
that oath to become a doctor. Ironic, given that he spent most of his thousand
year life sucking souls out of other immortals.

Things are different now. Using regular shots of morphine to keep his inner
monster at bay, Ryan has led a quiet life since the Second World War. His
thrills now come from saving lives, not taking them.

Until a plane crash brings Aleria into his hospital. Her life is vibrant. Crack
to predators like him. She’s the exact sort of person they would hunt, and
thanks to a severe case of amnesia, she’s all but defenseless.

Leaving Aleria vulnerable isn’t an option, but protecting her means unleashing
his own inner monster. Which is a problem, because his inner monster wants her
dead most of all.
